Thank you! Your post was very helpful.

Just to be clear, sorry, as a Hanafi then, I would not be able to have such a condition? Shocking.

(You are most welcome)

Well I cant say that. I think Madhabs are good general guidelines, but in the end "evidence" from Quran and Sunnah is what counts, and I dont think they should be followed blindly to the point where evidences are ignored.

Also please note that in one Madhab, sometimes, you'll have several opinions. Especially in the Hanafi Madhab. This is because Imam Abu Haneefah was the first of the four Imams and at his time many Hadeeths werent collected yet and he was mostly in Iraq (far from Makkah and Madinah). This is why he resorted in many cases to "Al Ra'i" (opinion) and analogies etc. His student, Abu Yousef, had different views on many, many issues, and so on.

I dont know if theres other views within the Hanafi Madhab. The general mainstream positions however, are as posted above.
